When I had my appointment they talked through different activities and the help I needed to do things. They did a lot if typing!
then they asked me to do certain actions looked lifting my arms up, standing up and sitting down. I hope that helps you.

Hi @sueyball

It's worth having a read of this guide: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-pip-claim/your-assessment/

Most important thing is to be prepared to talk about how your condition affects you. It might be useful to have a friend or family member there to support you.

I hope it goes well.
